Spoilers The Flash - Season 3

[Dick Whitman]

Or think how easy it is for most children to say the names of R2-D2 and C-3PO. Saying "H.R" is actually simpler, fewer syllables.

I wonder if will learn Wells's middle name? I am partial to Richard. Of course I am biased, that is my real middle name. My father's first name.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Your name is Dick Dick Witman?

I'm setting it to Vanilla Ice in my head.

The latest episode was pretty good. the main plot with the monster kind of fizzled out, but the HR stuff was good and Julian actually had some good stuff for basically the first time. I also liked Caitlin's frost problems, it seems like it will be an interesting subplot.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

After the hologram reveal maybe Barry should enlist the Scooby gang to help him solve crimes.

^Not to mention J.R. Ewing on Dallas. Not much difference in the sound there either. I don't get why "H.R." would be considered hard to say. If you can say "Ray Charles," it shouldn't be a problem.

I don't think it's hard to say, it just sounds awkward to MY ears anyway. Like there's more people that go by J.R. or J.J. whatever than say K.Q. or L.F. Hey, but if I'm odd man out about this one, that's OK.

 

[The Old Mixer]

Did people actually call them "H.R." or is that how they signed their name?

That show was 100 time weirder than that video implies.

So relieved Hipster Wells wasn't what he initially appeared to be.

You mean HipsteR Wells?

Maybe it was my mood but my two CW shows had average or below average weeks. I think the big thing was both Supergirl and Flash felt cliched. Let's have mother daughter problems only to resolve them at the end, or treat some good looking guy like a prisoner until the end where the character sees the error of her ways. Maybe it was just my mood but I've seen these kind of stories many times and to see them again and having it be just standard fare was disappointing.

I was looking forward to this episode to see Caitlin outside of Star Labs. Well she was outside but that story should have gone deeper. Heck if it was just Caitlin and we held the Wells plot for a week I would have been fine with that. She's turning into killer frost and I find that really interesting. I wish the writers thought so too.

I did like the stuff with Julian because finally he got some meat to the bone. He wasn't just there to be Barry's foil. He actually became a multi-dimensional human being this week. The Monster story was also disappointing, especially since we've seen Killer Shark before and Flash is still insistent to think that these characters didn't change because of Flashpoint.

What does King Shark have to do with anything in this episode? And the show made it very clear that when Barry restored the timeline after Flashpoint, he restored most things to how they had been before, but still with a few minor differences. So yes, some things are changed, but most things are the same. The series still needs to have narrative continuity with its previous story arcs, after all, not to mention with the other Earth-1 shows. So Flashpoint only changed the few things that it was dramatically useful to change.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Barry was in awe, as if he had never seen an inhuman monster before with no human dimensions.

Although this monster was clearly 20 times taller than King Shark.

Um they're both monsters and shark was handled better than whatever this was?

 

[Christopher]

They're so different that there's hardly any comparison. King Shark was a metahuman from Earth-2, this was... something else. King Shark was just maybe twice the height of a human, while this monster was kaiju-sized. The only thing they have in common is that they're both created by digital effects.

This was another good one.
The stuff with HR was pretty good, the way they treated him having secrets was really fun. I was glad that he wasn't evil, and the truth was a fun little twist.
I really liked the stuff with Caitlin and her mother, it was nice to get to see some different stuff from Caitlin. This storyline with her becoming Killer Frost has been interesting, but I just hope they don't turn her completely evil.
The stuff with the monster was good too, and I really liked how it wasn't the usual bad guy at the end.

It seems kind of like the split-personality thing with Frankie/Magenta, that she's got an evil other self that she has to fight off. I wonder if Frankie will come back in connection with that, like maybe she can help guide Caitlin in resisting her dark side.

 

[Stephen Lee]

It seems kind of like the split-personality thing

I had the same feeling, when Caitlin went Frost on the assistant she seemed completely zoned out. Only with her mom talking to her did she come back to her senses.

It led me to wonder if Julian will end up being the true replacement for the role Wells has played on the team.

Nah, we'll get a scientist Wells again in the next rotation.

Pretty sure there was a Fringe reference in the show. Coffee gone extinct due to a blight? Where have we heard those *exact* same words before? Just a few lines earlier he called Wally, Walter.... I got a big smile out of the whole thing. I might be reaching, but he may have even been wearing a hat reminiscent of the Observers at one point. This Well's is from the redverse! There have been a few subtle homages, I think... including Thawne's shape shifting cord.
